Leinster has claimed that because of the constant criticism directed at their coaches and players, they have been compelled to disable comments on their social media posts.
Marcus Ó Buachalla, the media and communication manager for the Irish province, stated that they had to intervene after “personal attacks on players and coaches.”
According to Ó Buachalla, the abuse on X has gotten so bad that they have had to take action to protect the Leinster stars for the first time in ten years.
He said on X, “We’ve disabled comments on some of our posts on Leinster Rugby for the first time since 2015.”
If we lost a game, I’d dread to see how people would react. or if our head coach failed to consider the welfare of the players in his charge while choosing the team.
“While it’s bad, Instagram is just as bad and getting worse,” Ó Buachalla continued. Perhaps it’s just the world we live in. However, that doesn’t make it much simpler to see or take.
Supporters disputed the media manager’s post in response, with one saying that Leinster “robbed” Munster of Springboks lock RG Snyman.
I believe there is pressure to win everything because of the robbery of the Munster player, Mr. Barrett’s signing, and Bath’s two early attempts. “Then, no pressure,” they wrote.
In response, Ó Buachalla said: “Yes, if by robbing you mean signing a player who has been released.
We also signed three NIQ players after releasing three.
However, no. Particularly, insults directed at coaches and players before and during games. The pressure is acceptable. mistreatment. Not at all.
Then he added, “In my opinion,” in response to someone else. It’s just as awful as 2015. I don’t say that lightly, either. If you disagree? That’s okay too.
Despite being one of the finest teams in Europe and the dominant force in Ireland for the last 15 years, Leinster is now on a four-year trophyless streak.
With their most recent victory being in 2018, they have been unable to win the Champions Cup for even longer.
The Irish Rugby Football Union has also been accused of favoring the province by awarding Leinster players most of their central contracts.
With Snyman, Jordie Barrett, and Rabah Slimani now an important member of their team, they can also bring in top foreign players.
Fans of Unimpressed have appropriately expressed their disapproval on social media, but Leinster claims that it has gone too far and deviated into personal abuse
